LAW REFORM. Changes In the English Judicial Sys? tem. J. Now that thc attention of the bar and of thc people is directed to the action of the General Assembly in the direction of modifying the old legal system of the State, the following remarks of the English High Chancellor, Lord Hatberley, will be found ot great interest. They show the direction of the English judi? cial mind in this matter of law reform: The Lord Chancellor said that, In rising to more the first reading of the Judges' Jurisdic Uon bill, he could state Its object in a very few wordt>. Its object is simply to enable any judge ot any one of the superior courts of westminster to sit, on request of the Chief Justice or Chief Baron, in anv other court, for every ourpose, and with the same jurisdic? tion and powers as if he was a Judge of thc court to which he was invited. It also ena bles the judges of anv court to sit in banco in two divisions, if that shall be found convenient, and gives powers for two courts to sit together in London and at Westminster at nisi prius. The cause which had led him to introduce the bill was that, while the Court of Queen's Bench has, since the death of Mr. Justice Hayes, been orerburthened with business, there are more judges than are required in the other commo.i law courts. For the same reason, it is not thought necessary to fill up the vacancy in the Court of Queen's Bench; because seven? teen judges, if their services can be made available in every court, are quite adequate to the transaction of the common law business of the country. It had in like manner not been considered right to fill up the vacant lord Justiceship in Chancery, because there are only thirteen appeals waiting for hearing, and of these the three oldest only dale f. om December last, while thc remainder wert set down in January. His lordship then said that "he now proposes to cail thc attention of the House to the mensures which the government proposed to introduce In order to carry out the recommendations of the Judicature Com? mission. This commission took its rise mainly on the conviction which has been entertained ior some time, that we have Butlered severely both in our judicature and our Jurisprudence from the total separation of courts of law and equity. No such separation existed in Rome In the best days of its jurisprudence, nor did Buch a state br things prevail in Scotland, France or in any other Continental system. After tracing the steps by which thc separate jurisdictions ol the common law courts and the courts of equity had grown np, his lord? ship said that the result is that there are two species of right coexisting constantly in the same individual. By virtue of one of those rights, he may be entitled to a remedy at com? mon law; while, on the other hand, his oppo? nent may be able, by applying to a court ol' equity, not only to restrain "him from proceed? ing in the court of common law. but actually to mulct him in costs for proceeding before ? tribunal where he must have succeeded had he been allowed to go on. That never was and never could bc ".-!./"; !" "loar that a man , . TV IJgUl. Xt i? . . ^ Bhould be able to nave the whole or his eau"? determined, and complete right done by one \ court, whatever that might be. And tbat this was so was seen clearly so long ago as the time of Cromwell, by Mr. Shepherd, an emi? nent lawyer of that day, who recommended in a book called "England's Balm," that causes should no longer bc sent from law to equity, or vice versa, out that whichever court a cause flrst came before should have power to dispose flnaUy of every question that arose in its course. . The reforms which he recommended had been partially carried out of lat? years by the acts which gave the courts of law power io grant injunctions or to entertain equitable Sleas, which, enabling the courts of equity to ecide points of law, and to try causes by jury. Still much remained to be done in order to the complete fusio? of law and equity, and it was, as he had already said, a conviction that it is desirable to carry the process much lurther than has yet been done, which led to the ap? pointment of the Judicature Commission. That commission was appointed in Septem? ber. 1867. and reported in March, 1869. lt had submitted to its Investigations the coin ts of ? common law and equity, the Court of Ad? miralty, Probate Court, and the Court of Di? vorce. With the exception of thc judge of the Court of Admiralty, all the commissioners came unanimously to the conclusion that thc whole of the courts should be consolidated into one court of judicature; that that court should have power to divide itself into sepa? rate'divisions, not to continue the separation of the Jurisdiction of common law and equity, but for the purpose of handing over to each division the business most appropriate to it. This division of business would be subje .tto this reservation: That any judge may sit in any division, and, from time to time, if it be desirable, a cause may be transterred bodily from one division to another. Ii was also recommended that pleadings should be rendered as simple as possible, and'that some alterations that he could not thtn advert to should oe made in the mode of taking evidence. He then caine to the Court of Appeal. It is thought desirable that the Court of Appeal should consist main? ly of Judges devoted to this work, and it was also considered expedient that the Master of the Rolls should cease to bc a judge of first ins tances,ami should become a judge of appeal. In order to supply the deficiency in the judges of first Instance in thc Court of chancery created bv the removal of the Master of the Rolls to the Appeal Court, the chief judge in bankruptcy would be added to that division of the courts. As to the common law courts, each division would consist of five judges, willie another division would consist of the two remaining judges and the judges of the Courts of Probate and of Admiralty. The Court of Appeal would be composed of the Lord Chancellor, the Master of Ute Rolls, of four permanent judges, and of three judges to be selected by lier Majesty, from time to time, from the courts ot first instance. Tho Court of Exchequer Chamber, which has not been found to work well, would bc abolished. Another provision of the bill would be the abolition of the Home Circuit, the business of which would in future bc transacted in Lon? don. He did not intend tit present to legislate on the subject, but he thought, it would bc ex? pedient to take measures tb facilitate the dis ?atch of the appeal business of the House. 'Rh that view, he would suggest that that House should appoint a judicial'committee, which should have the power to summon to their aid members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. This committee would have power to sit during the recess, reporting its decisions, as recommendations, to the House, by whom they would bc formally authorized. Thc uoblc lord concluded bv stating that he should introduce two bills, om relating to the courts of first instance, and the other to the appellate courts, and by dwelling upon thc tacul?es which thc construction of the new courts of justice would give, by bring? ing together, In oue building, a body ot judges inspired with the desire and possessing thc power to do complete, substantial and speedy Justice.
